Black screen on monitor when increasing refresh rate above 120hz?

I recently upgraded to a dual monitor setup w/ an older LG Ultrawide (on HDMI), and a newer Gigabyte M27Q (On DP). The monitors function well together, colour is good, but I can't push the refresh rate on the M27Q above 120hz (119.88hz) without getting a black screen on the M27Q. Display settings show me options for 59.88, 119.88, 143.88, 164.75 & 169.75. When the screen goes black, I can still access the second display and revert the refresh rate to 119.88, and the picture returns.

I've confirmed the monitor can reach 170hz when I boot into windows, but not in MacOS.

What I've tried:

- Swapping DP cable (1.2 & 1.4 tested)

- Restarting/unplugging monitor / powering off monitor

- Resetting NVRAM during boot

I'm guessing this may be a graphics driver issue / maybe something in my config but unsure..
